Offered is a rare hand-carved set of sculptural Taverneau (Caribbean walnut) wood bowls and serving utensils, designed by Arthur Umanoff. His ellipse and canoe shaped wood bowls from the 1960s are striking examples of mid 20th century organic modernism.
The large bowl measures 18.5" x 8" x 5".
The smaller bowls measure 10" x 3" x 2"
The spoon and fork serving utensils measure 3" x 12.25" x .625"
From his biography "All of Umanoff’s designs were centered around the belief that design should not just be beautifully constructed and functional, but attainable. Umanoff created versatile designs for the home that were celebrated for both their quality (thanks to natural materials and new methods) and for their simplified, functional forms that outlast trends."
Many of his designs were imagined in wrought iron, rattan, walnut, and birch, sprinkled with functional details that remained naturally elegant thanks to slender, tapered lines.
"His designs and the materials he used are still really prominent today,"
